Cheap-O Hose Turns into a Fuel SPRINKLER!
Here is proof positive, as to why you need to use BlackWrap conductive-core, PTFE Fuel Hose on your next performance buildup.
This video was sent to TechAFX by a recent customer who got quite an unwelcome surprise when he pulled his LS-powered musclecar out of the garage. This car was completely rebuilt 6 months ago with a new LS V8 powertrain and all new rubber-core, braided steel AN fuel hose. The vehicle had been sitting for a few months when he went to pull it out of the shop--with shocking results!
Needless to say, he is VERY lucky to have quickly realized he had a 'fuel sprinkler' system under his hood! This video shows how quickly rubber-core AN hose can fail with today's fuels--it begins as a fuel weep, then quickly turns into a complete 'leaker' hose.
Only conductive-core, PTFE fuel hose is built to handle today's fuel.
